what pc case will you pick up for a desktop pc computing in 2026? there are dozens to choose from: some fit itx, some fit mATX and some fit ATX motherboardsin addition you need to check what size of a PSU goes in>the truth; everything has gone hell after the year 2013 and there is nothing worth buying, you are fucked if you did not buy case in 2013 or earlier, now you must stick to laptops because no sane person would by from current supply of desktop case
>>108872545Still using Antec 3oo, recently did usb3.0 header upgrade since those are 2.0 stock. yeah modern cases are ugliest shit ever.
>>108872545maybe check out cheap chink server cases or used supermicro.
>>108872720oh hey I got one of those on the way found it for 20eur +5 shipping it even has a dvd burner
>>108872545something cheap with adequate space and a slot for a bluray drive>no glass (not even plastic)>no RGayBany leds on the front will get taped off so I can sleep lmao
>>108872545FLP02 is probably the best one on the market and even that's priced at 200+ USD and the front I/O got put aside for shitty meme gimmick larp buttons and a key slot
>>108872842>no glassyou can wrap glass with black vinyl, helps a lot with aesthetics.
>>108872545I really liked the Corsair 780T, but now Corsair only sells ugly cases
>>108872810only thing I don't like about those is top and side fans, those are really not needed but where fad back when that case was new, case would look even cleaner without those.
>>108872545I finally settled on pic related after agonising for around two months on what case to choose.It's expensive as fuck, but at least it's well made and it ticks all my required boxes.
fractal design hasn't let me down yet, although it seems their newer cases all favor glass and no sound dampening panels
>>108872545None.There’s a massive glut of PC cases where I live, I can get 5yo cases basically for free. It’s not even worth re-selling them, no-one’s spending lots of money on cases.The only sensible case purchase is something like a Corsair C70, which will do the job and retain it’s value provided you’re not a retard who scratches up their pc.
>>108872881> FLP02 is probably the best one on the marketAccording to what fucking metric? It’s not temps, not compactness, not silence, not price. You’ve already called the looks a meme and I agree.What else is there?
>>108873202>"> "kwaf
I moved to a Hyte X50 late last year just because it looked so cool and weird, plus it has really good airflow. The only problem is that the color-matching fans are expensive and not included.
>>108873237I literally want to puke when I see this case
>>108873237Could make the ultimate fallout case mod. Has those very 50’s Americana curves.
honestly anything with a mesh side paneladd three fan slots on the front and top and you have perfection, from that point you're just looking at the aesthetics
>>108873328>Sees fun case>Wants to pukeJust go get some soulless chinese oem case on newegg then.
>>108872545Apnx v2. Great airflow and looks great too.Bottom: 3x140mm intakeSide: 3x140mm+2x120mm exhaust Rear: 2x120mm exhaust
>>108872545Whenever this comes out.
>>108873358we should aim for more fallout than fallout
>>108872545I spent a lot of time researching cases and narrowing down to the most recommended on here & videos. Then I got a newegg deal that came with a "free" case, the corsair frame 4500x. Whilst heavy, I found building in it extremely easy and the side fan on the front is kind of cool with the built in rbg fans. My only complaint is that I hate the power button and usb ports sitting on the bottom of the front panel instead of the top. Maybe some people like that but it's not for me. Just my 2 cents in case you want a case that has a super clean front glass image and unique side fan view. I'll be using it for the next x years.
>>108872545A chinese case
